The capital and largest city is Panama City, whose metropolitan area is home to nearly half of the country’s 4 million people.

After several survey trips to Panama, GMI sent team members Alvaro and Mauren Barrantes to open this new field in 2019.  Since then, they have been joined by GMI team members Ronnie and Jaque Mackensen along with Cecy Torres.
